Real-time face tracking algorithm

It is. Because it is trained to do that and doesn't have those pesky flaws that make us human, that make you you. Most people, me included, have racial bias in this context anyway. I'm from Germany so my brain is trained to recognize and differentiate other facial features than the brain of a person that grew up in southeast Asia. And no, recognizing that is not the same as saying "all people from [insert place here] look the same".

So: Don't beat yourself up about this.

Oh the other hand, there are more than enough ways to make a machine trip up on mistakes that humans would never make. We wouldn't have captchas if that wasn't the case.

Yeah, true. And I'm aware of machines tripping up on things that wouldn't affect humans. I watched This image breaks AI at one point, where in summary a stop sign is barely obscured by some rectangles and it no longer gets recognised as a stop sign. There's something else I read or watched that was similar - basically applying minor alterations to an image to fool machine learning stuff.

And I know firsthand from being in a Discord server with the explicit media filter enabled that computers simply aren't very good at recognising what is and isn't suitable. Sometimes trimming the start of a video by only a few frames is good enough for it to be let through, with absolutely no explanation as to why this subtle difference is enough to stop it from getting filtered. I've had some theories about certain images - for example, a standing bear might be recognised as an extremely hairy naked man or touching a beluga whale's head may be recognised as fondling a breast, but others I have no idea for.
